Sheffield Wednesday take on Brentford tonight in the Carabao Cup as Danny Rohl gets to test himself against a Premier League outfit.
The Owls claimed a big three points on Friday night when they defeated Portsmouth 2-1 away from home.
Wednesday have been producing the goods at certain moments this season, although consistency is still something being strived for.
Tonight sees Wednesday take on a side doing really well in the Premier League and in Thomas Frank, the Owls have a manager who is widely respected.
Tonight will be a strong test for Rohl and ahead of the match, Frank has had some kind words for the man who will be his counterpart tonight.
What Thomas Frank has said about Danny Rohl
Rohl will be looking ahead to tonight’s game with a relaxed mentality given that the Owls have very little to lose this evening.
Frank is also excited for the clash and for his Brentford team, it’s a great opportunity to edge ever closer to winning a trophy.
He’s a huge fan of Rohl it would seem and has delivered some nice praise towards the Wednesday manager ahead of tonight.
He told the club’s official website: “We’ve got big respect for the competition, we’ve got big respect for Sheffield Wednesday.
“Danny Röhl has done a top job there – he actually came to see us around 18 months ago, when he was assistant manager of the German national team, and we had a good talk about football.
“What he did in terms of saving them last year and turning it around was more than impressive. And they’ve had a decent start to this season.
“Sheffield Wednesday is a massive club – they’re now building, they’re a well-structured team, they know what they want to do.”
Wednesday must have a real good go tonight vs Brentford
The Owls have huge games on the horizon in the Championship and although the phrase is frowned upon, tonight really is a free hit.
Brentford will be expected to win at a canter and they’ve found the way to goal at a frantic rate this season.
The Bees will be fancied to win the game at a canter and all Wednesday can do is head down there and give a good account of themselves.
Rohl gets his team competitive in every single game and all that Wednesday fans will demand tonight is that nothing is left out on the pitch and the team has a right good go.
